Abstract

A mechanism automatically mounts end-flanged bags upon a display card disposed in an upright position, with the bags suspended, prior to insertion, in such a manner as to promote movement of the contents away from the flange that is to be engaged by the locking tabs. It includes means for forcing a locking tab of the card out of its plane, for inserting the flange of the bag into the slot formed behind the tab, and for returning the tab through the plane of the card to effect the interlock.
